Your favorite fabric store?

August 2, 2008 by candi canncel 9 Comments

I am in Seattle visiting family. As usual, I travel with my sewing machine- hoping to get in some fun, leisurely sewing in. But where to go for fabric?

I decided to compile a list of fabulous fabric stores all over the world. So when the travel bug strikes, no matter how far from home you go, you can always get your fabric fix!

I would love to know your favorite fabric store! Comment here with the goods or email me: [email protected]

Thanks for the tip!
I found Nancy’s Sewing Basket on Queen Anne (2221 Queen Anne Ave. N) in Seattle. They have an interesting selection and it is in a cute part of town.
